Boden vs Kiruna tips and predictions

Fortune to favour Kiruna

With 7 points, sixth placed Boden host third placed Kiruna. The visitors aren't far ahead with 9 points.

Kiruna can overachieve here but with the best will in the world it's not a great prediction.

The hosts haven't looked like world-beaters in some of their poorer efforts. Boden are causing pause for thought having lost 9 of their last 15 games at home. Decent chances have been in short supply for them. They've only scored 0.7 goals on average over their last 15 matches on their own turf. Depending on any fitness concerns, this stat could be significant. In the most part they've not been punished but sometimes losing their shape has cost them. They conceded two or more goals in 9 of their last 15 home matches which lends some more evidence for the away win.

If the visitors get the rub of the green they can secure an unlikely win here. Kiruna have won their last 3 campaigns. Impressively, they've scored two or more goals in all of their last 3 games. To get anything from the game they'll have to contribute more goals to that strike rate.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the visitors will feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up in stalemate. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Boden. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that looks like a good way to extract some value for this particular encounter.
